Li Hong heard Shangguan Yi say something in his ear, quickly turned around, and walked quickly to the outside of Hanyuan Palace, he wanted to personally go to greet the queen mother and the concubine.

"Queen Mother, the military report from the north that the Han army has gone south to attack the line of the Great Wall, and the guards of the border pass have decided to abandon the line along the Great Wall and retreat to the line of the Yellow River."

"The horse plans to give up the Yellow River to the Han army!"

Wu Meiniang looked at her eldest son, and then looked at Chen Fang beside her. The carriage of the Tang Workshop arrived at the Hanyuan Palace, but Concubine Jing did not get out of the carriage, and it was a little unsuitable for her to enter the Hanyuan Palace, not to mention that she was the concubine of the first emperor, even the concubine of the current saint, and it was not suitable to appear here.

At this time, it was Chen Fang who was holding Wu Meiniang's hand, and it was Chen Fang who was holding an umbrella for Wu Meiniang.

"Ah, colt, is it true that the queen mother said? Are you going to give up the Yellow River line to the Han army and not defend along the Yellow River? ”

"Your Majesty, I have already asked the Twelve Guards to issue the military order, and it should have been along the Yellow River."

Wu Meiniang glared at Chen Fang, this guy's retreat speed was definitely the fastest in history, and before the Han army arrived, he let the Tang army defending along the Yellow River evacuate.

Let the elite of the Tang border army retreat again and again, except for him, no one dares to do this.

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, let's wait for the civil and military courtiers to arrive at Hanyuan Palace."

Wu Meiniang had the intention to shake off the horse's hand, but Chen Fang pulled her hand and pulled it very tightly.

The courtiers outside arrived one after another, and the military generals of Wenchen quickly gathered together, Chen Fang let go, and Wu Meiniang had already taken the hand of her eldest son to the first place and sat on the top seat.

During the Gaozong period, when the Hanyuan Hall was built, there were two main seats for the emperor and the queen to deal with the government together, listen to the recitals of the hundred officials, and deal with the affairs of the world. At this time, it was only the queen mother's position that changed the queen mother, and she didn't even change people.

At this time, Chen Fang was entrusted with the important task of controlling the twelve guards and taking charge of military affairs in Guanzhong because he was entrusted by Li Hong and Wu Meiniang, so he stood in the first column, naturally standing in the first place, there is really no military general here who dares to stand in the first place, even if His Majesty's father-in-law, he has to stand behind Chen Fang.

"Today, we urgently recruit all Aiqing to come to Hanyuan Palace, everyone knows what it is for, the border pass is urgent, the Han army has gone south, the first line of the Great Wall has been lost, and the Han army is driving straight into the Yellow River at this time, and it is about to reach the northern line of the Yellow River."

"Your Majesty, how did this fall so quickly? Our hundreds of thousands of elites, can't they resist the Han army for a few days? ”

"That's a question for the colt!"

Wu Meiniang obviously had some anger at this time, and she was angry that Chen Fang asked the Tang army to retreat first without a fight, and it was retreating again and again.

Chen Fang naturally heard the temper in Wu Meiniang's words at this time, it seems that he hasn't been spanked recently, and he will have to slap a few times when he goes back at night. He pressed on his leg, pulled off his pants, and hit him a few times.

Chen Fang walked out of the ranks of military generals and looked at the civil and military courtiers in front of him.

"Bring in the sand table!"

There are actually two sand tables in the Tang Workshop, and when Chen Fang asked them to make them, one of them had been sent to the Daming Palace, which was for His Majesty and the hundred officials to see.

The sand table is made according to the map of mountains and rivers in later generations, and it is made in proportion, and the sand table is presented on the sand table at this time, which is the trend of mountains and rivers in Guanzhong and its north.

It also marks the defense forces of the Tang Dynasty and the possible path of the Han army to the south. The Tang army's defense was mainly concentrated on the Great Wall and the Yellow River, and when it reached the Loess Plateau, it mainly relied on the fortification of towns along the way.

The possible southward route of the Han army is marked, of course, this may have been removed at this time, and the direction of the Han army's southward movement has been confirmed.

The sand table was carried into the Hanyuan Palace, His Majesty and the Queen Mother had already gotten up and walked to the front of the sand table, and all the civil and military forces had also been around the sand table, Chen Fang stood in front of the sand table and placed a red sign on the edge of the Yellow River.

"According to the distance we are from the front line and the speed of the sentry horse, the Han army should have arrived here at this time, the line along the Great Wall has been basically lost, and the Hetao area has been controlled by the Han army."

"Look here, this is the main defense area of our Tang army along the Yellow River, if my estimate is correct, preparations for retreat are already being made here at this time, and before dark today, the Han army in the north of the Yellow River will cross the Yellow River."

"Master Horse, the Yellow River is dangerous, why doesn't Lord Horse let our border army defend it here?"

"On the way to Hanyuan Palace, the Queen Mother also asked me this question. If we order the retreating border troops of the Tang Dynasty and the defenders along the Yellow River to hold on to this line, I estimate that we can roughly slow down the southward movement of the Han army for several days. ”

"A few days, Master Horse, this is impossible, here are the elite of our Datang."

"Ladies and gentlemen, how many of you have seen our artillery camp training?"

"Master Horse, the artillery camp training won't let us see it!"

"Let me put it this way! If an ordinary flowering bullet falls into the crowd, basically within two zhang, no one will survive, and within five zhang, personnel will be injured and bruised to varying degrees, and if they are unlucky, they will die. ”

"If this flowering bomb is specially treated, such as being poisoned and filled with irregular metal chips, then the killing range and lethality will be greatly increased."

"If our army is fortified on the south bank of the Yellow River, it will be difficult to find an effective cover position according to the local terrain, and in the open area of the Yellow River riverbed, the soldiers of the army will be directly exposed to the artillery fire of the Han army, and the Han army will only be bombarded again and again."

"And the Han army on the north bank of the Yellow River, we don't have many ways to suppress it. At this distance, the bow and crossbow are already at the end of the strong crossbow, and they will not cause much damage to the Han army. ”

"Across the Yellow River, the other side can use artillery to constantly destroy our defense line, but there is not much we can do, basically on the southern line of the Yellow River, we are passively beaten."

"But Master Ma, even so, we can't give up along the Yellow River so easily, the Han army crosses the Yellow River, and if we want to stop the Han army, it will be more and more difficult."

"So we don't stop it, we keep letting the Han army go south, this area, mainly on the loess plateau, is sparsely populated, and is not suitable for large-scale resistance."

"What do you mean, we will put the Han army in Guanzhong all the way, and then resist in Chang'an?"

"What's the name of this adult?"

The civil official who spoke just now immediately shut up, not daring to say another word, Chen Fang looked at him, and the frightened civil official was trembling in his legs at this time, and he took a few steps back from Chen Fang, not even daring to look at the horse.

Sure enough, those who play tricks are generally more timid, and Chen Fang naturally didn't bother to bother with such a person and drop the price.

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, my lords, let me ask you a question, if one of you is asked to lead the troops and attack a place, and the offensive along the way is like thunder, invincible, and irrelevant, then what will happen to this lord?"
